THE HIDDEN TRUTH ABOUT ENTREPRENEURSHIP (what nobody told you about entrepreneurship)
we were told that
ENTREPRENEURS are innovators... ENTREPRENEURS are job creators .... ENTREPRENEURS are Thinkers ...
ENTREPRENEURS are creative...
All these are true.
ENTREPRENEURS provide multiple opportunities for economic growth and development...very true.
ENTREPRENEURS are risk takers
ENTREPRENEURS are change makers.........which other quality did I not mention (you can mention it at the comment section)
They are all these.
NOW,In my own words...
ENTREPRENEURS are those set of people that exploit change as an opportunity to invent something new or probably start up a new business or upgrade an existing one to solve a problem.
You can be in the same room studying the same material and eating the same food with a true entrepreneur but guess what;you are not thinking what that ENTREPRENEUR is thinking....they can be 10 steps ahead of you,the moment you think you're about to catch up with them ...they just doubled up their pace....
Here's one interesting thing about them,
They don't have COMPETITORS ....
WHY? that is because
1.competition starts from the mind....the Moment you believe that alot of people are competing against you...that is the moment you become a competitor....so, ENTREPRENEURS don't think like that.... That is why they don't have Competitors.
Lets take ELON MUSK for example;
He is no doubt an entrepreneur...a great one at that ...
he's the owner of TESLA,SPACE X,STARLINK SATELLITE....he currently bought TWITTER
If he had that competitive mindset,he would have invented something that looks like Microsoft, something that looks like Facebook, something that looks like Apple, something that looks like Google ..even something that looks like Louis Vuitton.....smiles..
You can be an entrepreneur and a business person...
But it's risky to become a business person only.....they are the ones with the competitive mindset and they hardly solve problems...
But being a competitor in this part(ENTREPRENEURSHIP)of the world does not change anything.
THE GOAL IS TO :SOLVE CURRENT AND FUTURISTIC PROBLEMS....not solving already solved problems .
2...THIS IS WHAT NOBODY TOLD US ABOUT ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
NOW HERE'S WHAT NOBODY TOLD YOU ABOUT ENTREPRENEURSHIP/ENTREPRENEURS.
SELFLESS,they are selfless
SERVANTS,they are servants
These set of people are SELFLESS,very selfless.How can one spend years of his or her life thinking about how to deliver a package from THE UNITED STATES to SOUTH AFRICA ....and the person comes up with something like UPS,DHL,FED-X....etc just to make it easy for people .....that is selflessness....
we were never told that they have that particular trait....it's inborn or you force it into yourself...the moment you start thinking about other people and not just yourself........YOU ARE ONE STEP TO BECOMING AN ENTREPRENEUR...they are selfless
Travelling by train is one of the most boring things to do.....but it's been made fun and fast by the invention of an Electric Train...that is awesome.
NOW,this answers the very first thing to have before you can become an entrepreneur...that is
I.SELFLESSNESS...
I told a friend that when you are in the process of inventing something that would change lives ...don't spend much time thinking about the money you're gonna make .....because when the invention is out,the money is gonna come to you.(so we could put it in words like this,The man with Value to serve is the wealthy man)→this leads us to the next thing that
NOBODY TOLD US ABOUT ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
That is SERVANTHOOD ,they are servants..
They just want to serve.
you don't serve when you don't have anything.you serve when you've got something.
The next is SACRIFICE
They know how and when to sacrifice
They know what and where to sacrifice
This makes them a whole lot different from other set of people ....they are ever ready to sacrifice...and you know most sacrifices comes with risk and trust .....and this is what also pays them ....(THEY ARE RISK TAKERS AND THEY TRUST THEMSELVES)
...
ARE YOU READY TO EMBARK ON THIS JOURNEY....the answers are these that I just mentioned..
ENTREPRENEURSHIP is not for the SELFISH.
By the way what do you think I should rename this write-up ...(1.THE THREE "S" OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP
